Quantum Tunneling enables Ultra-Low Area and Power Neural Network for Brain Scale Computing
Brain-scale Computing is a Decadal Challenge
The biology of the brain enables approximate computing with analog synapses that connect stochastic and digital spiking neurons. Along with fascinating connectivity schemes, this results in the power & mystique of the biological brain that chaperones all the processes of human thought and action.
University students who experience physical pain perform worse on tasks and have lower moods than those without pain.
Everyone experiences some physical pain in life. Pain affects our mood. Research has shown that people diagnosed with long-term pain frequently experience a negative mood. Would it be similar for people whose pain is not severe enough to consult a doctor and get it diagnosed, that is, sub-clinical?
A novel machine learning based method to compress and reconstruct 3D spatial data from remote sensing
Land surveys are used to find and monitor land features in large areas. Information such as differences in elevation, area and heights of buildings, vegetation, water and roads can be gathered by physically surveying the land. The same information can be gathered using pictures captured remotely by cameras mounted on satellites or tripods, drones and helicopters.
Researchers improve the efficiency of face shields by coating them with a hydrophobic layer.
Face shields act as primary barriers to airborne disease-carrying droplets. They are effective in closed spaces such as aircraft cabins and offices where chances of exposure to the droplets from speech, breath, cough or sneeze are high. Face shields have assumed importance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and simple face shields made from plexiglass plastic or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are available for public use.
